i am going in on wedneday for another shot. this has really taken a toll on me. i hate feeling helpless and i hate it when others think that they know what is best for me.

i have no sense of depth perception and when i am walking i need to be very careful. complete strangers have come up to me and asked if i should be driving. well, the dr cleared me to drive and it is none of their damm business anyway. the nerve of some people. what makes them think they have the right to ask me anything. iam n ot talking about people who are asking me about my eye. i will tell them and hopefully l educate them on how to knmow about a detached retina. i am talking about folks who think that they have the right to ask questions that are none of their business.

i guess am just depressed and tired over this. i have been through the ringer and it hasbee a very hard and long year for me with this

There isn't a day that I don't pray for you @shortbreadlover I cannot imagine how frustrating this has been for you.

There are many elements: wind, fire, water
But none quite like the element of surprise

@shortbreadlover

Do you know what kind of shots they are giving you in you eye and why. I got shots for my retina for 3 years and nothing was helping me, I finally gave up and decide to make sure my other eye stays strong

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

@shortbreadlover

So you do not know the name of what is being injected, I have had three differnt types of seriods to stop the bleeding in my retina. They all hurt and with one doctor I had to keep my eye protected for about 12 hours
